- Develop horizontally scalable services and data stores to support growth
- Enhance performance through caching strategies using Amazon ElastiCache (Redis)
- Implement logging, monitoring, and tracing using tools like CloudWatch or Prometheus
- Deploy and manage applications in Kubernetes environments via Amazon EKS
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver new features
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices
- Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to ensure high-quality deliverables
